This apartment is definitely in a more interesting area of town than the backpacker Khao San road. It's 100% in the red light district however (we're talking RIGHT THERE), so if you're weirded out by that, this is not the place for you. We actually loved being in this neighborhood - it was super interesting to people watch and very close to public transportation, street food, restaurants, bars, shopping, all that jazz.

The apartment itself was very clean and modern with a TV, full sized fridge, cooking tools, towels, etc. The building does have a bug problem though - no biting bugs, but little gnats in the bathroom and little beetles roaming about. No big deal, but just as an FYI.

Communication was fine though not super personal - enough to get us safely checked in and checked out without hassle. No real contact with our host.
